On 2 August 1847 the Austrian chancellor Klemens von Metternich, wrote: "The word Italy is a geographical expression..."After 13 years Italy became a State despite the skepticism of those who pretended to forget that the word "Italy" to the greatest artists of Europe meant more than just a geographical oddity, but represented civilisation, knowledge, culture, art and all the highest expressions produced by humans throughout history.The most enlightened leaders of world culture, for centuries, considered the "Grand Tour", travelling in Italy, as an essential step in their education and training.What remains today, after 150 years of that hope to merge the differen t souls present on the peninsula called Italy and the desire to make a single witness and continuation of the immensity of which we are custodians of gifts?Our review of XX satire is devoted to a discussion on Italy, which for us is first of all, cultural identity, identity that we feel, every day, in danger of extinction.We are dealing with a world that continually sacrificed in the name of globalising short term illusions, that wealth of knowledge built with slow wisdom from those who lived with the thought, turning to us, to the future.To you, to your poetic, ironic, irreverent, bright, satiric ferocity, pick these signals, the thoughts and emotions related to the land of Italy and represent them in terms of your art and your land.

Talking about the 13Th Graphic Humour International Festival we can ask each other the reason why about an itinerant exposition, that as it is notorious need an huge organization effort.The answer is easy: the itinerant exposition can reach a wider audience: infact every year the exposition is presented in 5 or 6 towns, while the one exposed in only one town will have an inferior number of audience.Moreover the itinerant exposition can be shown in other countries, in other nations and also can be lent to other organizers in a global level.Our association is a non profit making and in these crise period is much harder and tiring going on with our projects, considering that we can’t count on the same economic help as many other exposition.But we always keep on going on, even facing some difficulties that often come against us, because we think that especially in th is period is necessary take a look at the situation with the humorist eye.

13th ITINERANT GRAPHIC HUMOUR FESTIVALTattoos and T-Shirts Borderline

1st Theme :Tattoos/tatuaggiTattoo art has really ancient origin, it was practised from Egyptian population. Tattoos signs has been found in 1991 in the man found under the ice in the Easter Alps between Italy and Austria. The Tattoo has been reintroduced in occidental society from adventure English men guided from Captain Cook after he came back to Tahiti in 1771.For this reason tattoe was linked to the sailormen and as between them there were people that boarded to escape from law also, it was linked to delinquency too.In the 80’s,under the impulse of punk, heavy, rock cultures and other new tendencies young people start to get interested to tattoos2nd Theme :T-Shirt s/MaglietteThe Hottest year period character, the T-shirt has become something much more than a clothing item. According to the researcher and writer Claudio Spuri, author of the essay “T-shirt stuff tattoos”, nowadays is a kind of a second skin.T-shirt, as its name properly says, is the famous T shape shirt that with the passing of years became an universal clothing item.Wonderful instrument for messages, ideas, philosophies and feelings communication, used from young people as from the adults. This simply indument is a mirror soul for those who wear it and it often become a real stuff tattoo that succeed in telling us, always and however, something more than his owner. T-shirt born in America in the early 40’s and became a part of the U.S.Navy uniform; it spreads itself in Europe during the 2nd World war. In 1950 Marlon Brando and James Dean wears it in their movies. Starting from the 60’s many rock bands start printing their logos on T-shirts. T- shirts printing, with the passing of years, became an economic way of communication to tell ideas, to advertise products and articles of all kinds until all this turned the T-shirt in a very popular article in dressing sector until it became a cult art product.

10th International Editorial Cartoon CompetitionThe Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom 10th International Editorial Cartoon Competition

1. The theme for the 10th International Editorial Cartoon Competition is: The " right " not to be offended is not a right.

In Canada, Mark Steyn is brought before three different Human Rights Tribunals for allegedly "insulting Islam".Meanwhile at the United Nation's Human Rights Commission, Arab states have for years attempted to make that a crime.What started out with a fatwa against Salman Rushdie for insulting Mohamed and was dismissed by many as an isolated incident, culminated years later with the assassination of Theo Van Gogh in the streets of Amsterdam for the same offense.In Denmark, cartoonists still fear for their life for having drawn Mohamed in newspaper Jyllands-Posten. Meanwhile in Ireland, blasphemy is now a criminal offence.How can we encourage vigorous debate while being respectful of religious sensibilities?

2. Prizes: three prizes will be given: a first prize of $1500, a crystal trophy, plus a Certificate from Canadian UNESCO, a second prize of $750 plus a certificate, and a third of $500 and certificate.
